Audiobook: City of Light by Tony Walker

City of Light by Tony Walker

Paris, 1925. Fleeing the shadows of London, French private detective Christian Le Cozh arrives in the City of Light carrying wounds no doctor can mend: the scars of the trenches, a bottle never far from hand, and a marriage left in ruins. When his young daughter is taken, he’s forced into a desperate hunt through streets where danger hides behind every smile.

From the catacombs beneath the city to rain-slick boulevards where deals are struck in whispers, Christian’s search throws him into the orbit of Tasmin Fitzgerald, the rough-and-ready Yves Dalle—loyal to the last and quick with his fists—and the returning chanteuse Louise Beacham, whose beauty may be the most dangerous thing in Paris. In a city where every ally has an angle, finding the truth might cost him more than his life.

Should appeal to readers of supernatural noir and gothic crime, especially those drawn to doomed detectives, femme fatales, and shadow-soaked streets. Fans of Ed Brubaker’s Fatale, John Connolly’s Charlie Parker novels, and the occult thrillers of Kim Newman will feel right at home in City of Light.
